Troubleshooting
Rose not flowering
Ensure the rose is receiving adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours daily) and is being regularly watered and fed. Pruning at the wrong time can also affect flowering.
Yellowing leaves
This could indicate overwatering, underwatering, or a nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture and consider feeding with a balanced fertilizer.
Pest infestation (e.g., aphids)
Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil, or encourage beneficial insects like ladybugs. Remove affected leaves promptly.
Poor establishment after planting
Ensure the plant was watered sufficiently after planting and that the soil is well-drained. Avoid disturbing the roots excessively once planted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your YouGarden Harkness Rose 'Guardian Angel', it is crucial to plant it as soon as possible. Prepare a planting site in a location that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily and has well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and just deep enough so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Gently remove the rose from its pot, loosen any tightly bound roots, and place it in the hole. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. For container planting, use a pot at least 18 inches in diameter with good drainage holes and fill with a quality potting mix. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, and feeding with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and mid-summer will encourage blooming. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or weak wood.
